The offensive star was Eagle Valley’s Rowles. The junior played on special teams and a little defense last year. Through two games he’s looking like a Player of the Year candidate.

Rowles had 272 yards on just 16 carries to go along with two touchdowns. He scored four touchdowns last week’s opener. On Friday, he had a 90-yard touchdown to open the second half where he looked like the anchor of a track team.

“We’ve run this offense for so long, we know what to do and when to do it,” Rowles said. On Friday “it came together.”

Steamboat (0-1) next plays at 7 p.m. on Friday at Summit. Eagle Valley (2-0) has a week off before it plays at 7 p.m. Sept. 13 at home against Delta.
